Application filed November 24, 1924. Serial No 751,972.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, Lnwrs SAIGER and MARKSRUssELL, citizens of the United States, and residents of Johnstown, inthe county of Fulton and State ofNew York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Holders for Thermos Bottles and the like, ofwhich the following is a specification.

Our present invention relates generally to holders for thermos bottlesand the like, our object being the provision of a simple inexpensivedevice which may be readily mounted in any suitable, place for thesupport of a thermos bottle and the. like in upright position and insuch manner that it may be fully protected and yet remain in view at alltimes without necessitating the opening of the holder for this purpose.

A further object is the provision of a 1 holder with simple means forsupporting the parts in the-closed position, the said parts permittingthe holder to be easily and quickly opened whereby the thermos bottlemay be easily removed.

In the accompanying drawing which illustrates our present invention andforms a part of this specification,

Figure 1 is a perspective View showing one of the many practicalapplications ofour invention,

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view taken through the holder, and

Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken therethrough.

Referring now to these figures our invention proposes a holderconsisting of a cylindrical slatted frame including two semicylindricalslatted sections 10 and 11, the latter adaptedto fit within the former.These sections 10 and 11 have spaced apart slats forming the wallsthereof and connected at their ends to end plates 12 and 13, these endplates being of circular form.

The section 11 is of somewhat reduced length as compared to the section10 and its end plates 13 are disposed in coaxial relation with andslightly spaced from the inner surfaces of the larger end plates 12 ofsection 10, there beingaxially disposed meansconsisting of bearing pins14 and plates 15 whereby these end plates are axially connected in orderthat the inner section 11 may revolve within the outer section 10. Forthis purpose the bearing plates 15 are secured to the outer surfaces ofthe ends 13 of section 11 and the bearing pins 14 are threaded thesemicylindrical wall of section 10, the

holder is opened for the reception of a thermos bottle and the like 16Within the inner section 11. In this position the thermos bottle willrest upon the lower end plate 13 of the inner section 11, the upper endplate 13 preferably having a flat spring member 17 adapted to engage thetop of the thermos bottle and normally prevent t-he'latter from verticalshifting movement. With the thermos bottle within the inner section 11it is simply necessary to revolve the same until its semicylindricalWall extends across the open side of the outer section 10' as seen inFigure 3, the holder being then closed.

In order to secure the holder in closed position, a pivoted springcontrolled dog 18 is mounted in connection with a bracket 19 securedupon the lower end plate 12 of the outer section between the ends of itssemicylindrical wall, this dog being adapted for extension at its freeend between slats of the inner section 11 when the latter is turned toclosed position asshown in Figure 3 whereby the holder will' thus belocked in the closed position by virtue of the prevention of the innersection from revolving movement until the dog is pressed outwardlyagainst the tension of its controlling spring so as to shift its freeend out of engagement with the inner holder section.

It is obvious that the holder as thus constructed is adapted to bereadily mounted in connection with moving vehicles and the like whereinit may bedesired to carry a thermos bottle, and is readily susceptibleof mounting upon therunning board 20 of an automobile or other motor car21. Itis also obvious that the holder is not only convenient in therespects noted but is simple in construction, inexpensive tomanufacture, and may be readilymanipulated in use. 7
